Brandon's Doctor Visit

Today, Brandon had to see a pediatric Orthodontist to have some cavities filled. I know, you are saying the same thing I said the first time I heard...'why does he need to have cavities filled if he is going to lose the teeth?' Well, the Dentist said if they aren't fixed and get worse before he loses the tooth, it could damage his permanent teeth...Anyway we went today to have one of two teeth taken care of. While the waiting room, Brandon was very patient, he played with some toys (he was starving because he wasn't allowed to have anything to eat or drink all day). When they called him back he said very patiently looking at books. The nurse brought him some vitamin to drink (which was very chalking looking) to help sedate him and he drank it like a big boy. We went into the other room to wait and when it was time to go, (we couldn't go back with him) he got right up and went straight back. While we were waiting the nurse came to tell us the cavity had gotten a little worse and they had put a stainless steel cap on instead of filling it. Jessica said well at least it's porcelin and I said nope, silver... Once he was finished and we could leave, he was a little dazed but knew everything. We were going out to the car and as I opened the door, Brandon said "no wait" and made me shut the door so he could try to look at his tooth in the window reflection:) We got in the car and gave him a mirror and he said he was going to tell his sister he had a gold tooth! I'm proud of my Bugger! Later...
